On Guard! (NR)

Set in the early 18th century, Lagardere is the trusted friend and bodyguard to the multi-titled and wealthy Nevers.

The villain Gonzague conspires to slaughter Nevers, the woman, Blanche, and the child.

Gonzague, however, fatally stabs Nevers in the back, forcing him, in his dying breath, to entrust Lagardere with the infant. Lagardere takes refuge with the child--who turns out to be a girl--raising her amongst a group of actors and puppeteers.
